What are the pros and cons of hiring a real estate agent?

Pros of hiring a real estate agent include their expertise in the local housing market, access to a wider range of properties, negotiation skills, and assistance with paperwork and legalities. They can also provide guidance on pricing, staging, and marketing a property to attract Potential Buyers in Manhattan.

Cons of hiring a real estate agent include the cost of commission fees, which can be a percentage of the sale price, and the potential for conflicts of interest if the agent represents both the buyer and the seller. Additionally, not all agents may have the same level of experience or work ethic, which could affect the quality of service provided. Some people may prefer to handle the buying or selling process themselves to avoid commission fees.
